Fieldtype development
Development and Programming
Hi All,
I’ve made my own fieldtype which is all working correctly as far as i can see, although I’m having a problem when saving entries.
If I select a category and press submit (when editing), everything seems to work as it should, and when clicking on the categories tab, I can see the category selected.
If I then reload the entry, the category then isn’t selected any more? Does anyone have any ideas? I’ve checked that none of the form fields ive created are conflicting in terms of their names
Thanks in advance…
can you confirm if same issue is arising when channel doesn’t have this custom field.
Admittedly, categories are selectable and retain their selection when editing items within another channel which doesn’t have my fieldtype assigned
Hi John,
i think, you need to check fieldtype code properly if its resetting category during save, validate or display_field.
Hi Bashkar,
I’m not setting / resetting the category in any of those methods. I just can’t understand why it’s doing this. I’ve no need to have validate method, so I’ve simply removed it from my class.
